• Authors: M.K. Ivory, A. Kato, A. Hasanzadeh, B. Blinov
• Abstract summary: The trap is a modification of a Paul trap with its ring electrode flattened and split into eight identical sectors, and its two endcap electrodes shaped as truncated cones for laser and imaging optics access. We trap and Doppler cool 2D crystals of up to 30 Ba+ ions and demonstrate the tunability of the trapping potential both in the plane of the crystal and in the transverse direction.

• Abstract: We have developed an trapped ion system for producing two-dimensional (2D) ion crystals for applications in scalable quantum computing, quantum simulations, and 2D crystal phase transition and defect studies. The trap is a modification of a Paul trap with its ring electrode flattened and split into eight identical sectors, and its two endcap electrodes shaped as truncated hollow cones for laser and imaging optics access. All ten trap electrodes can be independently DC-biased to create various aspect ratio trap geometries. We trap and Doppler cool 2D crystals of up to 30 Ba+ ions and demonstrate the tunability of the trapping potential both in the plane of the crystal and in the transverse direction.

Despite the weak internal electric field, near-unity charge collection efficiency is obtained from the entire sensitive area. This can be explained by the critical role that the high-quality thermal gate oxide plays in the ion detection response.

The central axis of the trap is kept free of obstructions to allow for site-resolved imaging of ions in the 2D crystal plane. We validate its operation by confining up to 29 ions in a 2D triangular lattice, oriented such that both in-plane principal axes of the 2D crystal lie in the radial direction.
